There's no point in being together if we don't.

[ he slips another berry past thorns' lips. then another. he'll keep going for as long as thorns indulges him, he's gathered more than enough by now.

still, it's nice. they have a destination of sorts—somewhere to lie low, pick up work, and let the heat of their disappearance fade, but the specifics matter less than the fact they're headed there together. he smiles to himself as he pops a berry into his own mouth.

What are you going to do for me?

[ oKAY.

...

well, thorns figures it might be best if they spend some time apart. he will stay long enough for their doordash order to get here so he can open the door and bring it inside, but then he will go on a walk.... ]

You want more?

[ this is the greed they talk about in the bible.

also, what happened to the minimal flirting? literally the only thing they are being stopped from is banging like crazy because they don't have that many changes of clothes. ]

[ crying

elysium doesn't even plan on falling back asleep but he does anyway. by the time thorns turns around with the order, he's effectively knocked out. so thorns can go on his walk in peace… incredible how they can live without being in each other's space 24/7.


just kidding. a few others from their table who hadn't gotten as drunk as they did seem to have the same idea as thorns. they approach and accost him into their group. if there's one thing they've picked up from elysium, it's that strong arming thorns without his consent is how you get him to hang out with you. go figure!!! they do ask where elysium is and why he isn't with him? their relationship is so fascinating to observe. wow.

Things taste better when they come from you.

[ he's not even sure what 'more' is in this context but he's saying yes anyway

this is beyond the bible they're playing straight out of satan's guidebook.

[ oh... help... he explains that elysium is sleeping...

he will go on a walk with them as they ask him if he thinks trying to break up elysium's relationship is really the best thing to do? thorns must not contend with the idea of is he trying to break them up? but elysium seems so happy with kitten?

...

he realizes that he actually does not know if this is true or not because elysium never mentions her. when he says that he's never actually met the girlfriend, they start murmuring amongst themselves... hmmm. ]

[ thorns doesn't think this is factually true but instead of explaining how taste works, he will feed elysium some berries like a good boyfriend.

... fiance. oh my god when are they getting married. ]


Better?

[ they have been engaged for however many comments by now i don't know what to tell you.

he does the thing where he deliberately licks any juice off of thorns' fingers.

Yeah. Definitely sweeter.

[ what is marriage but a piece of paper. they've been acting like they've been married for years since forever ]

[ one of them wonders if that's the case because they remember seeing elysium looking upset… and that seemed to domino into his copious drinking… they ask if thorns knows anything about that and now the group is convinced elysium's going through relationship troubles?

what a mystery.

[ hmm.

he just reinserts his fingers into elysium's mouth if he tries to pull away.

again, this is not the time or place for this, but here we are. thorns is just going to challenge the notion that they can't flirt. ]

[ oh no

thorns doesn't think he is the person to ask about elysium's relationship problems though?? even though elysium is over him now (lol) he figures it would still be awkward if him of all people tried to help out. ]


Should I talk to Kitten...?

[ half the people say it's a bad idea and the other half say go for it because they think it'll be funny. ]

[ OKAY!!!!!

eventually, they send thorns back to his hotel but only after shoving various items to share with elysium. they are all on a mission that they are forcing thorns to be part of.

he peeks inside the room. is elysium asleep...? ]

[ oh.

the funniest thing would be if they were doing it on the side of some road, but no, they're at least covered by foliage so the likelihood of anyone driving by and having to witness this is low.

should they be getting distracted like this? his expression seems to suggest he's thinking about it. but then he commits to it anyway because it's what thorns seems to want, so he closes his eyes and runs his tongue along the length of one finger before moving onto the next. okay.

[ elysium no, you had the chance to be responsible.

but it should be okay if they only take a few minutes to enjoy themselves...? what better way to motivate themselves than to give themselves a nice break to rest. this is resting.

it's only when elysium gets to every finger that thorns removes his hand to replace it with his own mouth. hi. ]

[ elysium is complaining when he does this constantly to thorns???? okay!!!

there's a pause and he leans in. it may look like he is leaning in to kiss him, but it's just he is trying to hear him better in case elysium is asking for something normal? thorns did not hear him very well... ]

[ what is worse elysium doing things knowing that it is not normal behaviour between two bros or thorns doing them back without knowing that it is not normal behaviour between two bros. all i'm getting out of this is that thorns needs more friends (victim blames)



elysium covers the rest of his head with the blanket. goodbye.

I guess we should have gotten umbrellas.

thorns just gets up and goes to eat his portion of the food that elysium ordered. elysium has to get out of bed eventually and when he does, thorns will be there. he can't avoid this forever. ]
